The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64le. This
is the default architecture used by Ubuntu for powerpc.
The below checks the kernel config to see if we are compiling little
endian and sets the Debian arch appropriately.

ppc64el. Commit message is wrong. Fixed below.

What about ppc64?
Also, I sent that already a month ago. Both linuxppc-dev and Michal
Marek were on cc.

Yay! Just like every other architecture, we continue to have the deb
based distros call it one thing, and the RPM based distros call it
another. At least we're consistent in our inconsistency.

Anyone using powerpc (32-bit) will then need to add ppc64 as a foreign
architecture before they can install a 64-bit custom kernel. This is
fine in principle, except that ppc64 is not an official Debian port and
its packages are not mirrored on the same servers.
I just tried something similar, which is to add x32 (also unofficial) as
an alternate architecture to my biarch x86 system. APT now complains:
W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/experimental/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/sid/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/testing/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-x32/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
So I think Michael's version, leaving big-endian kernels as powerpc by
default, is preferable for now.
Ben.

I applied v2 of Michael's patch to kbuild.git#misc.
